Successful Ankle Joint Replacement

The surgeons at Southwest Orthopaedic are experts when it comes to ankle joint replacement. After surgery, I had a few months of rehabilitation. My artificial ankle is now being used every day. I'm not only walking, I even did some light hiking. Many thanks. - David M.

Complex Reconstructive Surgery

I was in a car accident and literally crushed both legs below the knee. Dr. Kiarash pieced them together - 4 months later I was back on my bicycle. Months later, I tore 2 tendons and 2 ligaments in my left knee and broke the kneecap. The MRI person told me it was the worst damage she had ever seen inside a knee. Again, Kiarash did the surgery, and 5 weeks later I was biking again. This guy is amazing. - Jay C.

Foot Surgery Patient

I highly recommend Southwest Orthopaedic Surgery Specialists to anyone who needs foot surgery. The doctors are friendly and really know what they are doing. The office staff are also a bunch of great folks. - Barbara G.

Athlete with Fractured Foot

When I fractured my foot, I didn't know if I would be able to play soccer again. The emergency room doctor said I needed orthopedic surgery. Couldn't put any weight on my foot. Thought I'd never run again.

Dr. Cheleuitte at Southwest Orthopaedic repaired the damage. I'm still in recovery, but my physical therapist said I will be able to run again and play sports. - Chris A.

Arthritis Patient with New Knee Joint

Thank you very much for the work you did to replace my arthritic knee... I was very comfortable with how you and your staff treated me... My new knee joint is wonderful.

Since the knee replacement surgery, I have been able to reduce or eliminate many of my pain medications. Joint replacement is incredibly amazing and totally beyond what any other arthritis treatment was able to do. - Nancy H.
